Indescribable cyberpunk

The eastern beach of Dilas Port is the only place in the entire port area that is not covered by a pier. The reason is that the dense reefs in the sea, coupled with the daily rise and fall of the tide, make it impossible for larger ships to berth here. Building a dock specifically for small ships is obviously not worth the gain, so it has simply been left idle to this day.

Zhu Jue, who stayed at the Shuojin Chamber of Commerce Station for half a night, came here under the leadership of Black Swan. The latter told him that the Searing Box was stored here.

"Is there a hiding place around here?"

Stepping on the soft gravel on the beach, Zhu Jue held two gems in his hand and looked around at the flat beach.

"Don't you just bury things in the sand like pirates? I know there are no safes in this world. There are no locked boxes?"

"You misunderstood. The reason why the Searing Box is stored here is not because there are no preservation conditions in the harbor, but because it must be preserved in the ocean, otherwise accidents will occur."

Black Swan had obviously been here several times, and he took Zhu Jue with ease to the small boat moored on the nearby shore relying on ropes.

"Why are you still sitting on the bottom of the sea in a boat? Aren't you afraid of being washed away by the sea?"

Zhu Jue asked without looking back as he stepped on the edge and stepped onto the bow of the boat.

"It's not on the bottom of the sea, but it's stored in a specially modified reef. It doesn't need to go into the sea."

Grabbing the oar, Black Swan glanced at the back of the man in front of him. He obviously couldn't count on him for this paddling job.

Compared with the real world that has been ravaged by human industrial activities for centuries, the environment in the dreamland is naturally one in the sky and one underground. Zhu Jue tapped his left foot on the rope on the bow of the ship, put his hands behind his back, and raised his head. He looked at Undoubtedly, it was the bright stars and nebulae all over the sky. After staring at it for a long time, he suddenly raised his hand and pointed at the surprisingly large moon on the horizon in the distance, and said loudly: "That's not right, that's reasonable. Is the moon in our world so big, or is it just because I didn't pay much attention to it before that I have this strange illusion now?"

"There is indeed a difference between the dreamland environment and the real world. I once heard a strange rumor from the sailors here in Dilas Harbor about the moon."

Probably influenced by the magnificent scene in front of him, the black swan rowing the boat became much more relaxed in his words, and still had enough time to chat.

"Um?"

"It is rumored that there is a giant basalt pillar in the extreme west of this sea. If you cross it, you can see the ultimate waterfall at the edge of the world. As long as you cross it, you can sail into the starry sky and naturally land on the moon."

"Hahaha~ This statement is interesting. Will anyone really believe it?"

As Zhu Jue spoke, he moved his palms, condensing waves of wind, ruffling the sea surface in front of him, and causing ripples in the starry sky.

"The development of science in this world is extremely backward, and theology is dominant, so many people believe in this statement. There are even many expedition teams that go out to sea to find the location of the ultimate waterfall."

The ship sailed a certain distance, and Black Swan recalled the position. As he spoke, he stretched out the oar to scoop it up nearby. Not long after, he heard a dull snapping sound. He immediately stretched out the oar and forcibly lifted the advancing ship. The ship stopped,

"Found it, the Searing Box is hidden here."

Before Zhu Jue could say anything, Black Swan had already walked from the stern to the middle of the boat, rolled up his sleeves, and put his hands into the water. When Zhu Jue came over, he could only see blue electronic lights flashing under the sea, followed by a burst of Bubbles rose from the sea water. When the latter pulled his hand back, there was already a storage box in his hand that was exactly the same as the storage box Zhu Jue used when he entered the dreamland last time.

Naturally, it is impossible for this kind of treasure gentleman to actually use the boxes in this world. He has already transported a storage box through the space crack.

After pressing the password repeatedly, the storage box was immediately opened in Black Swan's hands, with only one thing stored inside.

A palm-sized reddish-brown wooden box with many relief patterns on its surface. No, after Zhu Jue took it out, he realized that it couldn't be said to be a box at all, but more like a wooden statue with a crack in the middle. The shape is somewhat like a box.

"What's inside this thing? Can't it be opened?"

Holding the upper and lower sides of the wooden box with both hands, Zhu Jue asked while exerting force, trying to open it. However, although he kept trying harder, the wooden box remained motionless, as if it was really just a square wooden statue.

"Yes, the gentleman tried all methods except violent destruction after getting it, so until now we don't know what is inside."

"Ah? You don't even know what's inside, so you just store it like a treasure. Have you never seen a treasure?"

Zhu Jue, who was originally full of joy and ready to take over a treasure, opened his eyes wide and asked with surprise on his face.

"You misunderstood. This Searing Box is a treasure that the gentleman found near the Sunken City through a treasure map. Although I don't know what is hidden inside, it is stored in an undersea ruins, and the Dream Eater is there." After learning the news, he mentioned it several times in succession that if it were an ordinary item, it would not have attracted such attention from them." In order to find this scorching box, the gentleman personally took the expedition team out to sea, and visited the Sunken City successively. After searching the nearby sea for nearly half a month, I finally found that special ruins despite the risk of mental problems. The gentleman who just got the scorching box probably felt the same as Zhu Jue now, but he found that it couldn't be opened. Box.

A large amount of resources have been spent, and I would definitely be reluctant to throw it away. In the end, I can only collect it and think of a solution.

"The Sinking City?"

Zhu Jue noticed a noun in Black Swan's words and asked aloud.

"It is an ancient ruins in the ocean south of the seaport city of Dilas. Because ships often have accidents nearby, the sailors here also call it the 'Silent City', which means that as long as you pass through that area, The area must be kept as quiet as possible to avoid disturbing certain entities sleeping in the ancient ruins. Of course, this is just a legend like the Ultimate Falls, but this ancient ruins has still become an existence similar to a landmark building."

"So that's it, but this box can't be opened, so what's the difference between it and trash? You said before that the gentleman has had it for a while, and so far I still don't have a clue what's going on. Why is it hot?"

Zhu Juezheng was about to ask if there was a way to open the box, but the box in his hand suddenly started to get hot. It was not because of the temperature of his palm, but it was heating up without warning!

"This is why it must be placed in seawater, and this is also the origin of its name. As long as the Searing Box is out of the ocean, it will start to heat up within a few minutes. The temperature will continue to increase, and it will also be a diffusive high temperature. Gentleman once did After testing, after keeping it in this state for 5 minutes, it can raise the temperature of the guest room in the inn where we just stayed by 10 degrees Celsius in just a few minutes, and ignite it quickly, so I suggest you put it back, otherwise After a while your hand might get hurt.”

"No, I want to see how hot it can be."

Zhu Jue raised his hand and pushed back the storage box handed over by Black Swan, and continued to hold the Searing Box.

"Mr. President, you are taking a risk, you"

Black Swan was someone who had seen the power of the Searing Box, and naturally knew how dangerous Zhu Jue's behavior was. However, as soon as she opened her mouth, the scene in front of her blocked everything she wanted to say.

The scorching box that should have been red and hot had turned into a complete brick of ice in Zhu Jue's hands!

At this moment, Zhu Jue stood on the bow of the ship, surrounded by hexagonal ice crystals. The bow of the ship under his feet had even begun to form a thin layer of ice, and the airflow between his breaths also turned into white air moving in front of him.

"Wait for me here!"

Turning around and taking a step away from the wooden boat, the sea suddenly turned into ice under his feet. Zhu Jue frowned and ignored the frightened look on the black swan's face.

Zhu Jue really felt that this so-called "scorching box" was continuously spreading huge heat energy to the outside world, and the intensity was still increasing. Correspondingly, he was also gradually increasing his mental power output and using ice to fight against it. searing.

As time went by, this confrontation was no longer limited to the small area where Zhu Jue was. From Black Swan's perspective, the sea within a dozen meters in front of the wooden boat was now shrouded in white mist.

The alternating waves of hot and cold air came with the sea breeze. This was a scene she had never seen around a gentleman.

After a stalemate like this for five minutes, Zhu Jue walked through the fog and returned to the wooden boat muttering. The scorching box was suspended in the sea water next to him by the scavenger. His eyes fell on the black swan and explained: "This box is indeed unusual. It can actually heat up to this point. The opposite method is incorrect. There should be other ways to open it. Put it back first. I want to go back and think about it again."

Normally, with Zhu Jue's character, he might have come into contact with the Searing Box, but tonight's situation obviously did not allow him to do so. After so long, he still didn't feel the slightest impact from the Searing Box. Some of them were in a loose state, but the temperature continued to rise. Secondly, Zhu Jue didn't want to make too much noise. Although it was late at night, there was no guarantee that no one would be wandering around the port.

Black Swan, who was sluggish because of the incident just now, was excited when he heard Zhu Jue's words and hurriedly followed the instructions.

If the looming beast at the door of the gentleman's residence frightened her, then the scene just now completely made it difficult for Black Swan to resist.

The storage box returned to the place where it was stored, and the wooden boat rocked back to the shore.

After a while.

The breakwater behind the beach.

Some people looked at the calm sea with their hands behind their backs.

He clearly felt its aura and rushed here but found nothing.
